It has been reported that the British Grand Prix is likely to stay at Silverstone. This news comes after months of speculation as to whether Silverstone would renew its Formula 1 contract. To mark the event the famous race circuit is set to hold a party in 2020 to mark 70 years of the track being in Formula 1. 

It is expected that all Formula 1 icons and World Champions are to be invited to the event with classic Formula 1 cars to be driven around the track. 

Formula 1 is celebrating another landmark next weekend. The 1000th Formula 1 race will be held in China at the next race weekend. Unfortuanlty attempts to get cars from Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Williams and Tyrrell to China failed due to transport costs and tight customs regulations. 

It is hopeful that the event at Silverstone in 2020 can make up for this and provide the opportunity for Formula 1's greatest cars to return to the track. 

Formula 1 fans will be pleased to see Silverstone remain on the calendar for the near future as the track has so much history.
